No Meat Holiday: My Independence Day Story

Post BBQ Blues…
So you’ve eaten and drank all the things, and are currently questioning your life choices. What’s particularly rough about this year’s Independence Day holiday is that it fell on a Thursday. So maybe you’ve got leftovers today and you’re thinking ‘Well these can’t go to waste, so I might as well eat them up.’ And then the weekend rolls around, and doesn’t everyone cheat on … Continue reading Post BBQ Blues…

It’s also normal – in the interest of fomo (fear of missing … Continue reading Within & Out

Causes a client to potentially use their back to lift instead of their legs… to push OUT their belly instead of pulling it up… to land the wrong way on an ankle or a knee. Nope. Not a fan. The … Continue reading Measure your Evolution
